Well It all started when I first got my Rikomagic MK802IIIS the Wifi worked great but youtube and netflix were so choppy and not hd. So I decided to try another firmware to fix the choppy videos. Ive tried about 6 different firmwares custom and official and neither of them has been able to turn on my wifi. It tells me turning on wifi... then turns back off without even showing wifi networks. I checked and the wifi mac address shows unavailable. Whats the trick to getting the wifi working?

Is their a way to enable wifi the terminal? I just feel like its not seeing the hardware at all. I opened up my rikomagic and the solder points look solid. Although the antenna looked like it could short out on the usb port. So I booted up with the antenna outside of the case and no difference. Im about to just return this thing. Should I get it replaced with another one or just get my money back? I wanted to love this thing.

I got it working...Disassembled unit, found that one of antenna wires was broken (this part sticked to plastic cover), and flashed finless 1.7a - don't know which helped, but without covers stick is working. Gotta solder antena wire and check if it's ok.

I took mine apart and did not see the wires broken but it seemed like they could short out easily. So i tried booting up without the cover with no change. I just broke down and got an ethernet cable and ran it to my rikomagic. I also realized my bluetooth does the same thing. Is the bluetooth using the same antenna?
